One could also ask why they even call the Olympics sports. Some say that if it takes a rod, a gun or a bow it's a sport. If it takes a mouth guard, jock strap or specialty bra, then it's athletics. So, where does one draw the line. For me, curling has earned it's way into the Olympics and in my eyes should stay. I watched it while waiting for hockey and found myself exuberantly rooting for the Canadian women. I got wrapped up in it and it was totally entertained.
Man alive, I NEED TO GO FISHING.
